1. How do Individual Values (IV) work?
▶
Three statistics define a Pokémon: the attack statistic defines the damage your Pokémon will do,
the defence statistic defines the speed at which your Pokémon will die, the HP is your Pokémon’s
Hit Points.
▶
We consider the example of Mewtwo. Mewtwo’s base statistics are:
Mewtwo
Base_ATK
Base_DEF
Base_HP
Assume you are very lucky, and you caught a perfect Mewtwo, with (ATK_IV, DEF_IV, HP_IV)
= (15, 15, 15). Your perfect Mewtwo’s stats are:
ATK = (Base_ATK + ATK_IV)
DEF = (Base_DEF + DEF_IV)
HP = (Base_HP + HP_IV)
▶
Depending on the level of your Pokémon, you will multiply all these stats by a coefficient:
Level 20 Level 25 Level 30 Level 35 Level 40
0.5974 0.667934 0.7317 0.76156384 0.7903
This table says that at level 25, your Pokemon is at 84.5% of its capacity; at level 30, your
Pokemon is at 92.6% of its capacity; at level 35, your Pokemon is at 96.4% of its capacity.
Coming back to your perfect Mewtwo, if you level up it to level 40, its statistics are finally:
ATK at level 40
DEF at level 40
HP at level 40
Your friend caught a Mewtwo with (ATK_IV, DEF_IV, HP_IV) = (14, 15, 14). If we do the
same calculations as previous, its Mewtwo, at level 40, will have the following statistics:
ATK at level 40
DEF at level 40
HP at level 40
Surprisingly, Mewtwo (14, 15, 14) at level 40 and (15, 15, 15) at level 40 both have exactly the
same statistics!

The Combat Power (CP) formula is:
CP = floor

For Mewtwo (15, 15, 15), at level 40, its CP is floor
